Tuller, did you check the skinning code for Bongos2? I'm having issues with thinking of how I could possibly make it as plugin for Bongos3 (and 2 as well).
New alpha up. Keybinding and right click selfcast issues should be fixed + an issue with buttons being visible after adjusting spacing.
I've removed the available action ids count and replaced it with stop/go coloring when creating bars. If you have enough buttons to create a bar, the shadow will be green, else it will be red.
Showstates: Its now possible to configure a bar's showstates. A picture's probably going to be worth a thousand words so...
You define showstates via the macro syntax. Setting it to be blank defaults to all states. This is something I consider a high end feature, but at the same time I know there was no real cost to including it.

So updates...Development version now has an "Act As Possess Bar" option. I think there's only really one more tweak I wanna make before we're at beta status, and that's just to clean up a few things.
One thing I found confusing was the interface for setting using ctrl/shift/alt to shift "pages". What if I don't want that feature? Let's say I have one page per druid form and use the automatic paging. Do I just set all the modifiers to "1"? If that is the correct way to deal with it it still isn't intuitive. I think there should be an "none" option on the slider (or some other term). That really applies to all the other forms of paging too... you need a way to turn them off.
1. The time on the minimap, perhaps a way to move that? (or shift it to stats?)
2. Offset setting on minimap, it relates to the time offset, perhaps call it "Time Offset", since there are numerous offset things (not on bongos3 config) but like x / y offset etc, so Time Offset might aide confusion. :)
I've actually convinced myself that there should not be a none is 1 is fine for stance setup.
The minimap addon will be eventually handled by the Bongos skinned minimap guy. It has a movable clock.
Customizable bar skin dealies: Still have not looked at it :P Ideally there should just be a non Bongos specific cycircled replacement, even though I know Bongos does things that other addons do not.

To me, if you're working with bar 1 and don't want paging, you leave it to bar 1. >.< Made sense to me. But I *am* crazy.

Cool, sorry to have brought it up then. Just felt it'd be a good idea.

Yeah I know... Maybe time I try that huh? Or at least just for Bongos :P It's not that I hate cyCircled, I just don't like library kill. The more libs I seem to use, the more my FPS drops in Shat, and raid at 2FPS as a healer isn't feasable :P
What conditions Bongos can change a bar on?
Bongos can be set to switch a bar on the following conditions:
- <Modifier> Down: Occurs when you press control, alt, or shift
- Page <Number>: Occurs when you press a paging binding. These are bound, by default, to shift + 1-6 and shift + mouse wheel. Shift + 1 returns to your normal state
- Stances, Forms, Stealth: Occurs when you're in Defensive stance, Cat form, stealth, etc.
- Friendly/Enemy Target: Occurs when you're targeting a friendly or enemy target
Bongos checks each state in the listed order, and will switch to the first condition is find that's mapped to an action set other than the first. If no condition is found, the bar will display the actions in set 1.
I want to suggest an option for a different behavior:
Bongos2 works like that, too. When I got into arena pvp with my druid, I changed the code: it first checks for friendly/enemy target and after that for forms. This way I can cast heals for a friendly target while running around in a form.

What if I have two pages and am currently on page two and change stance X... if I've set stance X = 1 it would be logical to assume that bongos would page to 1 if there is no "none" option. Further, what if I WANT Bongos to page to 1 for stance X only? I think that not having a "none" option is utterly confusing.
Apparently I'm too stupid to use this new version. Because I am totally incapable of making paging work. No matter what I do I am unable to get paging to work. I have tried totally resetting my interface, removing all saved variables. No <shift-mousescroll>. No <shift-#>. Nothing works.
I'd like to get this to work. I've been addicted to bongos since I started using them.
I disabled paging by default on the mainbar due to a billion people not realizing it existed :P You'll have configure your bar to have it: Set the number of sets of the bar to 6, then set the sliders for paging.

Then I'd change your wording to, "I want to show bar 2 when in stance X only" State 1 is the default, base state. Its what you go to for any state you've not directly specified as changing in.

No I support you moon we need a dreamlayout for bongos which doesn't use cycircled
Even after it's past the testing phase?

Just did, I'll think about it more later :P
thanks alot.. the sets option are different :D
Correct.

Any chance to add an option to hide tooltips during combat?

Basically its an ordered list like:

'[harm]',
'[bar:1]',
'[bar:2]',
'[form:1]',
}
